Alanis Morissette

[Verse 1]
Reborn and shivering
Spat out on new terrain
Unsure, unconvincing
This faint and shaky hour

[Chorus]
Day one, day one
Start over again
Step one, step one
I'm barely making sense
For now, I'm faking it
Until I'm pseudo making it
From scratch, begin again
But this time "I" as "I"
And not as "we"

[Verse 2]
Gun shy and quivering
Timid without a hand
Feign brave with steel intent
Little and hardly here

[Chorus]
Day one, day one
Start over again
Step one, step one
With not much making sense
Just yet I'm faking it
Until I'm pseudo making it
From scratch, begin again
But this time "I" as "I"
And not as "we"

[Verse 3]
Eyes wet toward
Wide open frayed
If God's taking bets
I pray He wants to lose

[Chorus]
Day one, day one
Start over again
Step one, step one
I'm barely making sense
Just yet I'm faking it
Until I'm pseudo making it
From scratch begin again
But this time "I" as "I"
And not as "we"

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
